NOZZLE ASSEMBLY

1. Drop metal nozzle tip into nozzle tip holder. Then insert

nozzle assembly firmly against the front face of the gun

barrel until the metal nozzle tip is seated tightly in the

nozzle holder.

3. Insert the allen wrench key into the holes at the back of the

nozzle assembly. The allen key, when properly placed,

will fit in the slot at the back of the second o-ring.

Note: The nozzle assembly can now

be rotated for vertical or horizontal

applications. When assembling,

make sure all mating surfaces are

clean to insure proper seating. Put

lubricant such as Vaseline on o-ring

area and area where Allen Key runs.

AUGER ASSEMBLY

1. Install the Blade-Coupling (#502) on to the Auger by

tightening the Socket set screw on the flat of the auger

shaft.

2. The short leg of the U-Blade (#504) is inserted between the

Tip-Blade-Set (#503) with the short-blade above (so that the

AUGER ASSEMBLY CON’T

3. The Long-leg of the U-Blade must be positioned against the

left side of the set-screws when looking from the front of the

blade assembly.

ASSEMBLY

1. Slide Auger Barrel

(#701) into Hopper

Body.

2. Firmly seat Barrel

(#701) so that the

back of the Barrel

protrudes out of the

Hopper Body

(#708) as shown.

3. Secure Barrel into place with two

screws. (#701A)

4. Slide Auger-assembly into Barrel

until forward set screw in Blade-

Coupling (#502) is about 1/8”

from the end of the Barrel.

5. Position the Cam-Roller

with the Cam-Coupling

(#703) as shown. Push

the Vibrator rod (#707)

down so that the Cam-

Roller will slip on to the Vibrator rod as

the Cam-Coupling is pushed on to the Auger shaft.

6. Align Set Screws and

then tighten when the

Cam-Coupling is in

proper position (#703-S

& 502-S). Push Cam-Coupling on to the

Auger shaft so that the Cam-Roller just touch-

es the Roller stop.

7. Put steel nozzle (#551,

552, 553, 552A) fol-

lowed by Retainer collar

(#751) into Nozzle-

Holder (#750) then push assembly on

to Barrel.

8. Push Nozzle holder on until the Allen

Key (#506) easily slides into locking

hole.

MOUNTING A DRILL

1. We recommend removing the chuck

from the drill and threading the

Cam-Coupling on to the drill

mandrell. this makes the whole

assembly shorter with much better

balance. Some drills have a left

threaded Reversing-Screw holding

the chuck onto the drill. Open the chuck all the way.

Then, looking inside the chuck to see what style of screw

head is used (Allen head, Phillips, Straight, etc...) This

screw is removed by turning the screw clockwise while

holding the chuck from turning with the chuck key in place

as in picture #1. Once the Reversing-Screw is removed,

hit the back end of the Chuck-Key

with a hammer as shown and the

Chuck will unscrew.

2. If you do not remove the Chuck from

your drill simply chuck the

”

CAM-Stud (#704) into the chuck as

shown.

3. To connect the drill to the

Quikpoint assembly simply

put the drill in forward and

screw the drill in forward and

screw the drill arbor or the

cam stud into the back of the

Cam-Couping.

MOUNTING A DRILL CON’T

4. Drill with chuck and male Cam-Stud.

5. Slip the Ring-Clamp (#711)

over the drill and Drill Mount

Arms (#710).

6. Secure Ring-Clamp in suitable

place on drill. Avoid covering air

vents.

7. If needed, the Drill Mount Arms

(#710) can be extended back by

mounting the arms as shown with

two bolts.

CAM GUARD INSTALLING

1. Kitty-Corner Cam-Guard (#709)

into position between aluminum

supports.

2. Snap right and left sides of the

Cam-Guard on to plastic

tongue as shown.

OPERATION

1. Be sure forward/reverse

switch on the drill is in the

forward position. The

Quikpoint will only deliver mortar when the drill is in for-

ward rotation.

2. Load hopper with mixed mortar.

3. Hold the Quikpoint as in figure A. The oval nozzle can be

rotated for Vertical and Horizontal Joints.

4. For horizontal joints, the Quikpoint should be either

perpendicular to the wall or slightly angled away from the

direction of travel. Fill vertical joints from bottom to top.

5. The Quikpoint will deliver mortar straight down,

horizontally and up to a 55˚ angle above the horizontal.

Use angled nozzle #552-A for overhead applications.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Do not leave mortar in gun for more than one hour.

2. To clean gun, flush with water while gun is run-

ning. Do not use water hose to clean tool. Use only a

small con-

tainer to direct water into

the hopper without

spilling. Caution: Keep

water off of drill. Do not

immerse tool in water if

drill is attached.

3. Unplug drill. Remove

nozzle and clean mortar

from inside the nozzle holder and o-ring area of barrel.

4. Dried mortar in Allen set screw sockets can be cleaned

easily with a

” drill bit.

5. Occasionally apply a small amount of Vaseline or

Petroleum Jelly to the o-ring and nozzle Key groove at front

of barrel.

6. Where the Auger fits into

the Blade-Coupling

(#502) and the

Cam-Coupling (#703) put

Petroleum Jelly into the

holes to keep parts from

corroding.

7. Store tool in dry area.

MORTAR MIXES

The Quikpoint Mortar Gun works well with all standar U.B.C.

(universal building code) mortar mixes up to 2

fine sand by

volume to one part by volume of theh cements plus lime used.

The strength or P.S.I. of a mix is varied by the type of cement

used and the voluems of cement, lime and fine sand used. For

best results, the aggregate fine (sand) should not have

particales larger than

MORTAR MIXES CON’T

1. A richer mix will work more easily through the gun.

2. If your mortar mix is plugging or the Quikpoint is laboring

to put your mix out, then use Gibco’s-MRF additive or a

good plasterisizer.

A. Shake before using Gibco’s-MRF pump aid additive.

B. Add to mixing water

oz. of Gibco’s-MRF to 1

gallon of water. Do not exceed 3 oz. of MRF to 5

gallons of water.

C. MRF is a lime substitute. If there is lime in the mix,

reduce the amount of MRF to

oz. per 2 gallons of

water.

D. Do not use high speed drill mixers. MRF will slighty

air entrain and may alter (lighten) color in the mortar.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Tool is not delivering mortar out of nozzle

A. Make sure drill is in forward rotation. Tool will not

deliver mortar in reverse.

B. Make sure set screws on Cam-Coupling and

Blade-Coupling are tight.

C. Make sure the Cam-Roller is in place and that the

Vibrator is working in the Hopper. The Vibrator will

not work if the Roller is not on the Vibrator Rod.

D. Inspect auger for wear. Take the Nozzle-Holder off

and look down the inside of the Barrel. If there is a

gap of

” or more around the Auger, then the Auger

needs to be replaced. If the Auger is not warn and

there is a similar gap, then the Auger-Barrel needs to

be replaced.

2. The Tool Plugs

A. Check to see that the Nozzle-Holder, Steel Nozzle and

Plastic Retainer are assembled in the correct order.

the Steel Nozzle is inserted first followed by the

Retainer.

B. If the tool plugs, remove the Nozzle-Holder. Holding

Nozzle-Holder on hard surface to remove stiff mortar.

Keeping hands away from Tip-Blades, run drill in

forward to dislodge any obstructions in the Auger-

Barrel. Clean the end of the Auger-Barrel and Nozzle-

Holder assembly with water. Reinstall Nozzle-Holder

and run.

C. If problem continues, check the Tip Blades (#503) and

U-Blade (#504) for wear. The Long-Blade should be

flush or no more than

” back from the front of the

Steel-Nozzle. If wear is noted, replace worn parts.

Note: The U-Blade (#504) usually does not have to be

replaced until 3 or 4 sets of Tip-Blades (#503) have

been replaced.

D. If problems persist, see mortar mix information page.

3. If Nozzle-Holder does not rotate for Vertical and

Horizontal action, remove Petroleum Jelly to the o-ring and

Allen Key stop area of the Auger-Barrel
